Where are Diving conditions at Their Best?

July and August are the best months for many Asian dive destinations. In Komodo this is the most nutrient-rich time so it's great for blooming marine life. In Lembeh it is the best time for critters. Visibility is at its best in Sipadan during these months. Heading east, April to October is peak diving season in Fiji. Heading west, July and August are the warmest times of the year in the Red Sea so you might want to think about Egypt or Sudan as your next destination.

In the Maldives, the best time for multiple mantas at Hanifaru Bay is August to November.

Visibility peaks in the Great Barrier Reef's Coral Sea during the June to September period. Minke whale season is June to August and you can go on liveaboards that include swimming with these lovely cetaceans.

Peak season, aka whale shark season in the Galapagos is July to December, which coincides with the best time in Cocos Island, Costa Rica for hammerheads and manta rays.
